What color is Sherwin Williams Mellow Coral?
Sherwin Williams Mellow Coral SW 6324 is a light, muted coral with a warm pink-peach cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a gentle wash of color rather than a bright statement. In warm daylight or incandescent light, the peach notes become more noticeable, while cooler light can bring out its dusty rose side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas, especially alongside creamy whites, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass. For a more defined look, use Mellow Coral on an accent wall or painted furniture with deep charcoal, soft olive, or earthy terracotta nearby.

LRV of Mellow Coral
Mellow Coral has an LRV of 52.37% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 52.37%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
